Hey guys,
im looking for some dosing capsules, but they are really pricey. Not really much better on aliexpress. Which ones would fit and work well? Maybe i could find something on the cheap that works well..
They are 23€ on the site where i will probably buy the roffu

I think this is definitely a "buy once, cry once" situation.
If you buy ones that end up not fitting, that is not better than paying the $23 for ones that do. If you buy ones that are $5 -$10 cheaper, and they aren't good enough, was it really worth saving a few bucks? If you spend many hours trying to save a few dollars, is that worth your time? It's your call of course, but I've made this mistake many times, and pretty much always regretted it.
Also, what
@LesPlenty said is 100% true. I've stuck a screen in the metal tube that holds the official dosing capsules, and use it as a high flow (less draw restriction) stem. I then hold the end to a J-hook or bong and it works as a water pipe adapter. It's not as convenient as the official WPA because you have to hold on to the Roffu with the metal tube, but can just leave it sitting on the bong with the official WPA. I have both so I go back and forth for a someone different experience. I tried using the tube directly as a mouth piece, and it worked fine for a few draws, but then got WAY to hot for my lips before I could finish the bowl.
For all different vapes, it's pretty common to pay $4-$6 or more per capsule, without a tube to house them in. I don't think $23 is out of line with that if you are getting 4-5 capsules and the metal tube. Though I do think all capsules tend to cost more than the need to. Making custom dies are not cheap, so I assume the start up cost is a big part of the final price.
All that said, I almost never use the dosing capsules. But they are great to have when I do want to use them. Mainly I vape at home, but when I've taken the Roffu for a hike, I do prefer capsules over bringing everything with me to load on the go.
